We have had a lot of visitors among us in the last few months. First was Bro. Zdzarski, who spent two weeks with us. He is a new missionary coming to help us here, at least until he learns the language. He was here to set up his living situation before he moved his wife here. He preached for us a couple of times. Then we had Bro. Rob Landham, who spent a week with us. He is an evangelist from our sending church. He came and preached twice to our church. He also did a lot of soul winning and encouraged another Polish brother who got to go with him. They had many people saved on the streets. He was a blessing and encouragement to the whole church. We also had other guests. One was Marek, a young Polish man who lives in Holland. He came and preached in our church. He said it was his first time to preach in Polish, because he usually preaches in English. He was also a real encouragement. His wife, who is from Romania, came too. She really connected well with my wife because she had been in an accident while riding a bike and a car hit her. She had neurological problems after that, which Jolie has, too, from the stroke she had. After that, Bro. Zdzarski left and came back a few weeks later with his wife Lisa. Now they are living in Warsaw near our church and are already being a blessing and a help. We still have a few more guests lined up to visit in a few weeks. We will have Bro. Belisle, a missionary evangelist from Iowa who is coming to preach. He will also be visiting other European churches while he is here. Bro. Efraim is coming for a business trip to Poland; he is from Missionary David Solt’s church in England.

Our church people here in Warsaw have been going through trials and hardships. One lady, Sister A, comes faithfully. Her mother-in-law who had cancer got very sick. Sister A was with her for two weeks, and then her mother-in-law passed away. She did get to witness to her mother in-law, but her mother-in-law said it was private and didn’t want to discuss it. For a year, we have prayed for a man, Bro. D, who left our church because of his work schedule. On June 1, he returned. Then on May 25, another man, Bro. J, who had been gone for months because of health issues, returned. We have a Filipino lady, Sister G, who came to our church. She is only in her thirties and just found out she has ovarian cancer. She is now in the hospital being treated. Bro. A from Ukraine, who attends regularly and speaks sometimes in our church, has had pneumonia twice this year already. He is doing breathing therapy twice a week for two hours. Lastly, we have several people who, when they believed the Gospel, their spouses who are unbelievers began causing conflicts in their marriages. Please pray for all of these people with their needs.

We are planning for a medical furlough, beginning the end of July and returning at the end of September. We will be in Northwest Indiana. We will be local and getting help there. We will need to get a car for the two months we are there. We would appreciate your prayers for Jolie to get the right treatment for her neurological issues, for her heart condition, and for her to get off all of the medications she is on presently. I also will get my heart checked out.

We also need prayer that God would give the right translators to help Bro. Gary for our Sunday and Thursday meetings, for faithful laborers to help him with the evangelizing outreach, and for help with the church work in general while we are in the USA for the two months.

We thank you all for your faithfulness in supporting us and for your prayers for the great work here in Europe.

More than conquerors,

Paul & Jolie Sock
